WELCOME

Welcome to the Real Club de Regatas de Santiago de la Ribera and the European Championships 2016. The Committee has worked extremely hard over the past months to prepare a full and exciting programe for all the Snipe family to enjoy the days and we hope you enjoy it. We are very fortunate to have  the continued support of The Royal Spanish National Federation, Azor Ambiental and Estrella Levante and the valued services of many people from Snipe Class. Without their help, and the continued generosity of our sponsors, we would simply not be able to deliver such a fine event.

The focus of the Regatta is our motto “Serious sailing Serious fun” based on sporting competition, entertainment and fun events for all the competitors and their family. We look forward to welcoming competitors at any time of the year but particularly during Europeans days. We urge you all to enjoy the spectacle, take part, and enjoy the sporting challenges. We would also ask you to take the opportunity to walk around our wonderful environment where there is so much to experience and discover.

May the winds be with you,

Francisco Ginés Pérez López Chairman

Nuestra empresa Estrella de Levante, cuenta actualmente con unas instalaciones de 55.000 m2 donde se producen más de 100 millones de litros de cerveza al año. La factoría de Espinardo, cuenta con la última tecnología del sector cervecero teniendo implantadas las normas de gestión de calidad y medioambiente más exigentes. La Compañía da empleo de forma directa e indirecta a más de 400 personas, estando especialmente sensibilizada con la formación de los jóvenes de la Región. Prueba de esto es que somos una empresa pionera en España en la implantación desde el año 2012 del modelo de Formación Profesional DUAL importado desde Alemania, mediante el cual, los alumnos pueden realizar sus prácticas en nuestra compañía. Estrella de Levante se presenta en barril de 30 y 50 litros y botellas retornables de 20 cl y 33 cl para el canal de hostelería y en formatos no retornables como son las latas y las botellas de 1L y 25 cl, y se comercializa en la Región de Murcia, Andalucía Oriental (Almería, Granada) y en las provincias de Alicante, Albacete y Valencia. Gracias a la alta rotación del producto y la proximidad de la fábrica con las áreas donde se comercializa, es una cerveza que se consume muy fresca ya que la cadena logística hasta que  llega al consumidor final es muy corta. Esto hace que mejore considerablemente su sabor. Somos el líder en ventas en la Región de Murcia, siendo la cerveza más consumida y preferida de los consumidores. Desde sus comienzos, la compañía ha participado muy activamente de la vida cultural, social y deportiva de su área de influencia.
